just don't look behind you.

chapter 6: a common ground - part 2

As the days start getting colder I start feeling sicker. Today three of my fingers where almost completely purple from the cold, it's not fun but I do love the winter. Minus the freezing temperatures and camouflaged ice.

Hopefully the fics name will start making sense after this one. It's strange seeing how much I've written and how much people seem to enjoy it

Thank you :)

The way huggy crawled in the vents was horrifying, his movements being so unatural and freakish; you tried your best not to judge anyone but huggy seemed to be the exception.

Your group had made it back to where you first encountered huggy in the vents, and made your steady decline down the metal ramp; trying your best not too slip of course.

You encountered more metal rollers and rerembered the shut vent door, it would be impossible for a human to pry open without the proper equipment. Huggy seemed to read your trios thoughts and gently pushed you back up the ramp the way you came from.

After Izzy had slipped into the other vent he went forward, back to the rollers. Loud banging echoed down the vents as he ran up and started kicking the vent door. Soon a loud clang and a happy purr came from outside the vents.

Using the same technique as before, you used Junos knife to climb up; sending it back down for the next person.

You heard Izzy and Juno climb out the vents and small taps as they found places to rest their aching legs and arms.

You saw the top of huggys head as he watched you make your way up; before reaching out and dragging you up the rest of the way. Obviously thinking you where being too slow.

He tugged you out the vents and sat down near Izzy with you; curling into a ball and resting his head on your lap.

Izzy was sat shaking, curling into herself trying to preserve warmth, looking over at Juno you noticed her doing the same.

Why was it just now that you realised how cold you are? You felt your bones ache and your skin prikle from the cold. Your clothes clung and tugged harshly on your skin, your hair felt heavy and your eyes tired.

Why was it just now that you realized how tired you where? And how tired everyone else was?

You felt your eyelids grow heavier, and struggled to blink. Breathing slowly calmed you as you felt your body slump down in exhaustion.

For now you where safe, you cuddled into huggy; gently stroking patterns into his fur. He purred quietly.

The sound of the storm worsened outside, the rain and wind hitting the walls and roofs of the building. But your group of now 4 was quiet, taking in the sounds of outside kindly.

You where safe. And when you awake you'll go home with your friends. You'll eat and bathe. You'll wear the comfiest PJ's you own and listen to the sounds of the storm as you lie down in bed.

You cuddled further into huggys fur, you felt a slight disturbance as Izzy and Juno moved over to you. Together you huddled like penguins.

Huggy moved to the middle letting all three of you steal his warmth.

For now he forgot his anger towards Juno, letting her cuddle into his arm.

For now you where safe.
